  1. 2 Days in Paris
    This anti romantic and anti-comic -- it's not as funny as Delpy seems to think it is -- movie may appeal to the dark side of your immune system.
  2. Rush Hour 3
    The first Rush Hour was a pretty good movie, the second one pretty lame. The threequel is somewhere in between: nothing special but with a high amiability quotient. The two stars know they click; it's no crime for them to extend and exploit that good vibe one more time.
  3. Becoming Jane
    I'll stipulate that in Austen's time spinsterhood was a fate to be strenuously avoided. And being a woman writer was by no means an easy path either. Yet, she embraced it, and the immortal results more than justify a hard choice this film never really explores.
  4. The Bourne Ultimatum
    The movie is one continuous, exhausting, exhilarating chase.
  5. No End in Sight
    Prepare to be riveted: No End in Sight, Charles Ferguson's first film, is without question the most important movie you are likely to see this year.
  6. The Simpsons Movie
    So, for those of you who were wondering if a great TV show could top itself at feature-film length, the good news is that The Simpsons did it! But "South Park" did it first.
  7. Talk to Me
    Eventually you may come to think of Talk to Me as a true movie rarity -- a very honest yet curiously affecting experience.
  8. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    Not just a ripping yarn but a powerful, poignant coming-of-age story.
  9. Rescue Dawn
    Rescue Dawn is a tale of heroism untainted by political skepticism. In an age when U.S. soldiers are seen as villains or victims, the movie offers a GI who bravely, or madly, simply refuses to die.
  10. Transformers
    The film has just enough collisions to be a crashing bore.
  11. Sicko
    As both harangue and movie tragicomedy, Sicko is socko.
  12. Ratatouille
    The subtle colors and textures of the food alone make Ratatouille a three-star Michelin evening.
  13. Evening
    Rarely have so many gifted women labored so tastefully to bring forth such a wee, lockjawed mouse.
  14. A Mighty Heart
    This movie does not fully separate itself from our admittedly low -- even slightly shameful -- expectations, does not become the pure documentary it might perhaps better have been.
  15. You Kill Me
    I don't want to oversell You Kill Me. It is not going to leave you breathless with laughter. But I don't want to undersell it either. For an hour and a half it exerts its own preposterous reality, making you believe it -- and like it.
  16. La Vie en Rose
    There is no rhyme or reason to this jumble -- except perhaps to stress Edith's endless self-victimization. This lack of narrative coherence naturally has the effect of distancing us from her story.
  17. Knocked Up
    It's hard enough to find comedies like this at any time, so it's a small and welcome miracle to come upon one in the midst of a typical movie summer.
  18. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
    Their film is not so much thought out as strung together -- colorful incident upon colorful incident, but without logic, gathering suspense or any attempt to establish emotional connections between audience and actors.
  19. Lucky You
    Not in any sense a great movie, a masterpiece that future generations will want to rediscover. But it is a solid, well-made, generally gripping and intelligent movie -- and how many of those have lately been made in America?
  20. Spider-Man 3
    Where can mass-moviegoers find release for their tenderer feelings? Only at dozens of inspirational sports movies, where guys (on screen and in the audience) get to cry and cheer and win. And, this weekend, at Spider-Man 3.
  21. Paris, je t'aime
    Even when one of the pieces stutters, stammers or just lies deathly still, we are consoled by our knowledge that it will not trifle with us for very long. And by the fact that there is an excellent likelihood that it will soon be replaced by something more engaging.
  22. Waitress
    It appears to be a true reflection of her (Shelly) spirit -- eccentric, good-naturedly feminist, kind of funny and kind of sentimental. Despite its realistic setting in a small Southern town, it is much more a fable than it is a slice of authentic life.
  23. Hot Fuzz
    The best, surely the smartest, English-language movie of the year to date.
  24. Fracture
    It renders passion dispassionate and turns murder into a kind of fashion statement, something we observe without really caring about.
  25. Perfect Stranger
    The movie's central problem: a lack of alternative suspects...How the screenwriter, Todd Komarnicki, and the director, James Foley, resolve this problem is a genre travesty and an affront to their star.
  26. The Hoax
    Gere and Molina are themselves terrific as the con men.
  27. Blades of Glory
    It has the slapdash air of a movie that was a little more fun to shoot than to watch. To say that Blades is a little sharper than "Kicking and Screaming," but not nearly so smart as the best parts of "Talladega," is like taste-testing a Big Mac against a Whopper and a Wendy's Classic Double.
  28. After the Wedding
    A rich, intricate and very gripping movie.
  29. Shooter
    Wahlberg could be the actor that action movies have been looking for since Sly, Arnold, Harrison, Bruce, Jackie and Jean-Claude -- all in their 50s or 60s -- got too old to execute the leg lifts necessary to kick bad guys in the butt.
  30. The Prisoner or: How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair
    A modestly mounted, but curiously poignant little documentary... which somehow -- quietly, devastatingly -- shows and tells you more than you may perhaps want to know about the dehumanization implicit in the mighty, blighted Iraqi adventure.
